What are you making for Dinner?

[9 incher/160 IQ]

I threw together a home made hamburger/veggie soup and a salad with about a dozen veggies in it. I have been eating two bowls of salad every night with my dinners recently.

Deep fried Mars Bars are a Scottish fave. the popularity of Fish and chips and other chippie fare encourage experimentation.

I really hate that I love fish and chips so much. It truly is an offering equal to ambrosia. =)))

[Lochdubh]

the only chippie I've been to in Van is cockney King which I enjoyed, but to get the true experience you need to have the fish and chips to carry outside into a biting wind and horizontal sleet...no bollocks.

[mimi]

Oh...good observation...it definitely is enhanced when consumed in tune with its' original roots....and geography. =)))

Been to a restaurant for the first time since the lockdown ended. Marcellos on commercial. It was nice:)

[mimi]

Oh what FUN ! Good for you !

I'm not quite there yet....but on the others side...I wasn't a big restaurant goer PRE-COVID.

I'm hoping that Carthage Cafe survived. Steak/frites, couscous, marguez, moules-frites.

Genial Franco-tunisian ownership,

[evs]

I hope they all survive. We need variety:)

What do you order at Marcellos?

[mimi]

YES ! If for no other reason, than the amount of work it took them to get where they were pre-COVID.

What do you order at Marcellos?

Caprichosa with inferno sauce. Nothing fancy but highly recommended. Kids mostly order pasta. They say they make their own egg noodles and they really are beautifully al dente.

quite an extensive menu. I've been told that a generation or so back much of Commercial had an Italian flavour. Thanks for the tip.

[mimi]

lol...Commercial wasn't dubbed 'Little Italy' for nuthin. =))))

[evs]

Yup.

@captain: yw. I hope you get a chance to try. Their house red is nice and dry.

[mimi]

I lived there for a bit in my younger days. Sweet little penthouse. One of the two places I've lived all around Van that I have the fondest memories of. =)

[evs]

It’s prettied up a lot lately too. A lot of houses are being restored and renovated. Money is coming in.

[mimi]

Must take a cruise-through next time I'm in Van. =))

The sweet chilli chicken at milestones is yummy. The only place I been to since covid.

The natives took over the parks around commercial drive. They party 24/7. That park where the Italians played Bocce is all natives now. The RCMP recently got assaulted at the park near Joe's cafe on the drive. They were warning about a recent elevation in violence.

I have left over home made soup and salad for dinner. I am very busy for the next couple weeks.

Extensive and expensive. His wife and he divorced. She has her own restaurant at 1st and Commercial in the empty mini mall. The food is good as well but she is an odd duck. I no longer eat there.

[9 incher/160 IQ]

Lombardo's is her restaurant. She also owns a Pizzaria downtown near the Burrard Street called Pacifico.

Easy. I'm going to try it.

[Lochdubh]

I could cook that, and because I'll use better skrimp than the chop sooey house, mine will be better than theirs. I'll use green onion though.
